John Fahey - Carnegie Hall, New York City, Sept. 21, 1973

Hey, let's just hang out in September of 1973 for a little while longer. While Lou Reed was laying waste to Europe and Neil Young was opening the Roxy, John Fahey played a unique triple bill at Carnegie Hall in NYC, sharing the spotlight with jazz-pop mystic Gabor Szabo and bossa nova pioneer Laurindo Almeida.

I stumbled across this advertisement in an old Village Voice a little while back and had to ask: "Is there a tape?!" Lo and behold, yes — but maybe only of the Fahey set? Was the taper a die-hard Blind Joe Death-head who left after John opened the show? Maybe. Or maybe I just can't find the Szabo and Almeida recordings. Help me out, Gaborians!

But John sounds good enough for now — great, actually. He wastes no time getting to the serious stuff, opening his portion of the show with a dazzling, almost half-hour "Fare Forward Voyagers." This is, in many ways, peak Fahey, kaleidoscopic in its ambition, his technique flawless, his sense of adventure boundless. Despite the composition's epic length, it's a gripping performance throughout, leaving you hanging on every note. This is your real destination, as T.S. Eliot reminds us.

John wraps things up with relatively briefer versions of "Dance of the Inhabitants" and "Beverly," his in-between song patter as typically laid-back as can be, in spite of the hallowed setting. What happened next? Not sure, but I like to think the evening concluded with an all-star jam — Fahey, Szabo and Almeida performing a 45-minute improv raga or something. Stranger things have happened, right? At least a few!

hi guyz !! im makin a bit of a different post today. i wanted to share some album/ep covers that ive been thinking about recently cuz album art is so cool + i love all of these artists dearly. enjoy my rambles :D

Sign - Nobukazu Takemura (2000)

my pfp !!!! i discovered the title track sign from the album hoshi no koe, but this is the record it originally debuted in! takemura is a japanese electronic musician who makes a lot of experimental music, and this album is no different. however, it has sort of a.. nintendo vibe to it? it’s difficult to describe, but it’s super fun !! i love the album art as well and the rhythmic motion of the building. the little music note guy has my whole heart too, theyre jus a little goober <3

Paraiso - Haruomi Hosono and The Yellow Magic Band (1978)

i wouldve put this in yellow but there is no option. anywayz this is a interesting album. ive recently started listening to hosono’s music and i enjoy it a lot !!! hosono house is fire, but this one is also good ! the cover art is what initially led me to listening to this, i love the beach atmosphere and the sky as space. and the little bubbles that have random monuments in them. and the palm trees n plants and agh. it’s delightfully surreal and im here for it !!!

S-F-X - Haruomi Hosono (1984)

look hosono you’re awesome and i love your early stuff so far. but i could not get into this ep at all. might try again tho !! but it’s really a shame because the cover is awesome. i love the distortion on the face and the pops of pink and yellow against the teal background. it’s very pleasing to look at and it’s been floating in my mind for awhile. very futuristic lookin !

Sail - Masakatsu Takagi (2003)

I AM THE ULTIMATE TAKAGI FAN #1 anyway. this album is so so lovely and silly. it has a special place in my heart now fr. the best way to describe it is animal crossing/picopop(??) type music. some of it reminds me of kero kero bonito’s music too. idk genres are weird !! point is it’s very upbeat and nostalgic. a few tracks are more somber sounding, especially rama. but i love the album art of this one, it’s like something you’d see in a dream or a childhood memory. i love the watercolor texture and the blend of pastel colors too!! and how it looks as if it was combined from multiple layers, as in each piece of the figure was made separately. overall takagi is a genius and this album SLAPS

Keep It Unreal (10th Anniversary) - Mr. Scruff (2009)

mr. scruff makes very cheeky and silly electronic music, but occasionally he drops an absolute banger. nah fr all of his stuff is good, some of it is just more “serious” than others. but i appreciate his sense of humor and the beats he makes ! this album of his is a great listen, but i especially love the cover. the og album cover is mounted up in the corner while these little bean guys are celebrating. truly a work of art. his other album ninja tuna also shares a similar art style !! very goofy <3

A Wizard, a True Star - Todd Rundgren (1973)

do i gotta say anything even. this is just a masterpiece of a cover. there is so much going on in the best way possible. i love the incorporation of the geometric shapes. the trippy visuals. it screams 70s. not to mention this album is fire. international feel is so good !!!

Desire, I Want to Turn Into You - Caroline Polachek (2023)

PHOTOGRAPHY JUMPSCARE ! i recently go into caroline polachek and OML where have you been all my life. this album is pure pop bliss and her vocals are so so good. sunset and fly to you are especially good oug. the album cover in particular is very simple in concept but it’s executed so well. the lighting, the sand, the bus chairs, her outfit?? absolutely stunning. this woman oozes creativity fr.

Dreams - Gabor Szabo (1968)

i could not find a better quality image of this one but holy molay this is a great jazz fusion record. is it fusion? idk anymore. but this is a great album and the art is just. mwah. i love all of the intricate details and the flowers. it’s just gorgeous !!! what else can i say !

Dead but Dreaming - vivivivivi (2023)

final one !!! vivivivivi is honestly super underrated, though her song credits song for my death has 8 million views on yt. anyway, this was a pretty recent album from her and it’s very cool !!! def gives the vibes of an rpg. i love the album cover tho!! the artist did a tremendous job with it, i love the overgrowth of the flowers and the shading. it also suits the tracks well !!

Gabor Szabo - Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, California, February 1, 1975

OK, so I failed to locate a tape of Gabor Szabo sharing a bill with John Fahey at Carnegie Hall in 1973. But hey, here's something to make up for it: three hours worth of the Hungarian guitarist at the Great American Music Hall a couple years later. Extremely nice stuff, with Szabo joined by Richard Thompson (no, not that Richard Thompson) on keys, Bob Morin on drums and David Parlato on bass.

Szabo and Thompson's rapport is especially sweet, with the pair trading beautiful lines with grace and style. When they roll into a rippling rendition of Gabor's signature "Mizrab" during the first set, you'll be transported to some wondrous other dimension.

I've always wondered whether Jerry Garcia was a Szabo fan — there definitely seems to be some crossover in their playing styles. Hey, was Jerry there in the audience on this evening at the GAMH, taking notes? Seems as though he was in town, perhaps he dropped in and thought, "Nice room — maybe the Dead should play a show here later this year?"

More Gabor? Check out this cool half-hour documentary filmed in 1977, featuring the guitarist back in his homeland.
